WILL NOT DISCIPLINE SIMS

Daniels Says Permission Was Granted Admiral to Write Book. Washington, D. C., Nov. 4. Secretary Daniels indicated today that no steps were contemplated to discipline Rear Admiral Sims because of statements in recently published articles detailing the admiral’s experiences in Europe during the war. Daniel Connell, director of the Irish national bureau, had written to Mr. Daniels demanding that the officer be called to account for alleged reflections on the Sinn Fein party in Ireland. "Admiral Sims was granted permission to write a book on his experiences in Europe," Mr. Daniels said, in reply. "The department did not censor it and is not responsible for any statements in it."
